an
TTie Production Offensive
Before we can carry the war to a successful offensive
against the enemy, according* to Donald Nelson, • we must
have a PRODUCTION OFFENSIVE.
The production offensive is the battle front upon which
every one of us may fight, shoulder to shoulder, farmer, mechanic, industrialist. Even the housewife has her part to play.
The production offensive is not the task solely of those
who work in the factories. The public is in it as well—for
here is the real second front. Here is where the battle lies.
Here is where we must begin the offensive. We have gone
far in the short span of months. We can go farther if every
one puts his shoulder to the wheel.
The secret of Napoleon's success was that he used ALL
his strength. And it was the extra force he flung in which
oftentimes won the victory.
We must use all OUR strength. We must not stand on
our own rights and privileges. We must remember that PRO-
^ DUCTION comes first. We must re-orient ourselves to our
"^particular job. We must realize that the restrictions of war
aren't the handicaps of war—they are our share in the cataclysmic struggle.
We think of rationing in terms of shortage—and we
blame others for it. We think of salvaging as a game. But
rationing and salvaging- are our share in the production offensive; The fats we save in our kitchens will be used in the
weapons of the production offensive. The rubber we salvage
will make our mechanized front strong.
]t The gas we do not use means more hours in the air for
6*ur fighter planes, more-ships to carry the weapons of war
where they are needed- The tires we do not use mean mobility for our armed forces. A. . <
- So much for clesrms* .'ije w'ay f >r the^ production off-vy
stve'-by rationing and*salvaging. There" is "sMtffh'ei- thiiig we
must do. We must back up those who are doing the actual
job—both in Industry and Labor. We must not waste their
or our time in internal bickering and hates and petty prejudices. Criticize, yes—when criticism is necessary—but stop
mere carping and fault-finding. Get behind the men of this
army as you get behind those who wear the uniform.
This is OUR offensive—the production offensive. It's up
to all of us to help drive it ahead.
%Sure Way to Stifle Progress
The American Patent System recently has been the subject of much unjust criticism at Washington. Before the war
a group of legislators there even went so far as to make
sweeping recommendation for amending the system, including compulsory licensing*. Congress wisely turned a deaf ear
to the proposal.
Now the same group, seizing upon the war emergency
as a pretext, is trying again to push its un-American patent
ideas through Congress. It alleges that patents have held up
the war program. This allegation is ridiculous. Government
has long had the power to have anything produced, for it, in
war or peace, regardless of patents. The facts are that Uncle
Sam could have had plants built to produce synthetic rubber,
magnesium, aluminum, chemicals or anything else it wanted.
No patent holder, even if unpatriotic enough to try it, could
have stopped the government from using his patented inventions in any kind of industrial expansion for government
purposes.
This group goes further and impugns the patriotism of
certain patent holders for having* participated in the legal
exchange of scientific information with othei* countries before
the war. There was nothing unpatriotic about these exchanges, and what makes the charge utterly ridiculous, is
that knowledge of processes obtained by Americans through
these exchanges, is making a tremendous contribution to
America's war effort.
The American Patent System is the keystone of the
Competitive Enterprise System. For over 100 year sour
American courts have held that a patent is property in the
same sense that a house or automobile is, so that when a
patented invention is taken for public use, compensation must
be paid for it. The Constitution provides for this respect of
property in general.
Our Patent System is by no means perfect. Certain constructive changes should be made but it is unfortunate that
the real issues are being obscured by sensational charges reflecting on the patriotism of patent holders who have been
among the major contributors to the war production program.
We sincerely hope that Congress will not be stampeded
into making the grave legislative error of nullifying patent
rights and privileges, thus removing* all incentive for American inventive genius to bestir itself. If such legislation is
passed, history will record the day of its enactment.as the
one on which America stopped marching forward. It looks to
be one sure way to stiflle progress in America.

held on Thursday evening, August
13.

voted to erect a plaque with the
names of all those who have s.tved
or will serve their country in the
war. For the duration of the wor
a temporary roll of honor will be
placed outside and when the war is
over, all those who served in it
will have their names placed on a
permanent roll of honor to be placed in the Community building.
This Thursday evening at S
o'clock the committee will meet
ag^m to decide the type of honnr
roll to be erected now and the cost
of a permanent roll. They will also
make arrangements for a place to
eicct the temporary roll.
In order that the organization
would remain permanent until its
work is finished officers were elected at the1 last meeting. Guy Price
was named chairman. Mrs. Waiter

Children's Day at County Fair
on Opening Day, September 3
Biking Governor
fee? Fishing Trip
One of the grand experiences of small boy life in summer is fishing'. Your kid may dig* in the garden with great
unwillingness, if it is a question of cultivating the beans and
potatoes. But if he wants to go -fishing, and there are worms
in that garden soil, he will dig there with great energy.
Boys living near a river, brook, or lake with fish in it
usually spend'many happy hours in fishing. A single little
bit of a fish is compensation for an hour of watching and
waiting. It is a wholesome-occupation for-the boys.-Through
it they become observant of the ways of nature, and learn
something about birds, trees, and plants, as well as about
the habits of fish. Incidentally it teaches them to wait patiently for-the tHt_^s;tHeyVant. .***' ■ ■- - r.-\ •

Early Saturday morning volunteer workers and trucks
donated for the day will start through the streets of North
Canton collecting junk needed so badly in the all out war effort.
From house to house they will proceed stopping for a
few minutes at each place. But it won't be just some men and
a truck stopping there. It will also be the spirit of Uncle Sam
who is making these calls, asking each individual to contri-
bute every spare article they have which comes under the
term of junk—metal, rubber, rags—to add to the supply.
For no\V*, as never before, the
help of every last person is being
asked to aid in the war effort of
the country. It should not be necessary to say that this drive is
not just an effort to get the people
war-minded—for everyone knows
how badly the scrap metal is needed by the steel mills—to keep
equipment rolling out to the men
on tho front line—to keep guns
and tanks and shells on their way
so that the American men will
stand an even chance in their battle for life or death. And everyone
knows that the scrap rubber is another item wliich we must dig up
from somewhere in order that the
American army and navy keep
moving along toward victory.
We can no longer sit back and
let someone else do the work, or
let someone else figure out how
to supply these materials. For
there is just one way, a long way
and a hard way. And that is by
gathering together the little donations from each home, donations
that don't lun over a few hundred
pounds, but that add up to millions of pounds—that add up to the'
lifeblood of the nation.
\ And that is just how each indi-
vidual\ears help. One rubber * ballj
from ea«h child in the country-can
make countless ,gas masks for the
men -at the front, one old piece of
machinery will help to-make the
tanks, the guns and the other
things that the fighting- men must
have.
Boy Scouts in North Canton will
make a house to house canvass on
Friday, notifying the people to
have their scrap ready for the collection on Saturday. In this way
every person will have an opportunity to be ready when the' trucks
start on their rounds Saturday.
G. Hairison Cline, scirp committee chaiiman, hopes to complete
the collection on Saturday, by getting an early start.
All those living outside the- village limits who have" contributions
to add to ih- collection are asked
to contact Mr. Cline and he will
see that tlie material is collected.
This h a people's war and it will
be won only by ali the people —
those on the home front as well as
those on the b'-ittiefront, and collecting- junk is one important way
each person will be able to help.

Children's Day at County Fair
on Opening Day, September 3
Biking Governor
fee? Fishing Trip
One of the grand experiences of small boy life in summer is fishing'. Your kid may dig* in the garden with great
unwillingness, if it is a question of cultivating the beans and
potatoes. But if he wants to go -fishing, and there are worms
in that garden soil, he will dig there with great energy.
Boys living near a river, brook, or lake with fish in it
usually spend'many happy hours in fishing. A single little
bit of a fish is compensation for an hour of watching and
waiting. It is a wholesome-occupation for-the boys.-Through
it they become observant of the ways of nature, and learn
something about birds, trees, and plants, as well as about
the habits of fish. Incidentally it teaches them to wait patiently for-the tHt_^s;tHeyVant. .***' ■ ■- - r.-\ •

Learn Air Raid Protection
A working committee of women

en from several organizations and
from the churches and through
their contacts with other women
will know what phases of civilian
defense they are most interested
in and concerned with.
The first meeting of the committee will be held Thursday evening at 7 o'clock in the Women's
club room of the Community building.
The women and the organizations
include Mrs. S. H. Witter, Woman's
club; Mrs. H. D. Wise, Ladies'Literary society, Mrs. -Walter Trott,

Early Saturday morning volunteer workers and trucks
donated for the day will start through the streets of North
Canton collecting junk needed so badly in the all out war effort.
From house to house they will proceed stopping for a
few minutes at each place. But it won't be just some men and
a truck stopping there. It will also be the spirit of Uncle Sam
who is making these calls, asking each individual to contri-
bute every spare article they have which comes under the
term of junk—metal, rubber, rags—to add to the supply.
For no\V*, as never before, the
help of every last person is being
asked to aid in the war effort of
the country. It should not be necessary to say that this drive is
not just an effort to get the people
war-minded—for everyone knows
how badly the scrap metal is needed by the steel mills—to keep
equipment rolling out to the men
on tho front line—to keep guns
and tanks and shells on their way
so that the American men will
stand an even chance in their battle for life or death. And everyone
knows that the scrap rubber is another item wliich we must dig up
from somewhere in order that the
American army and navy keep
moving along toward victory.
We can no longer sit back and
let someone else do the work, or
let someone else figure out how
to supply these materials. For
there is just one way, a long way
and a hard way. And that is by
gathering together the little donations from each home, donations
that don't lun over a few hundred
pounds, but that add up to millions of pounds—that add up to the'
lifeblood of the nation.
\ And that is just how each indi-
vidual\ears help. One rubber * ballj
from ea«h child in the country-can
make countless ,gas masks for the
men -at the front, one old piece of
machinery will help to-make the
tanks, the guns and the other
things that the fighting- men must
have.
Boy Scouts in North Canton will
make a house to house canvass on
Friday, notifying the people to
have their scrap ready for the collection on Saturday. In this way
every person will have an opportunity to be ready when the' trucks
start on their rounds Saturday.
G. Hairison Cline, scirp committee chaiiman, hopes to complete
the collection on Saturday, by getting an early start.
All those living outside the- village limits who have" contributions
to add to ih- collection are asked
to contact Mr. Cline and he will
see that tlie material is collected.
This h a people's war and it will
be won only by ali the people —
those on the home front as well as
those on the b'-ittiefront, and collecting- junk is one important way
each person will be able to help.
GRADALE MEETS
Gradale sorority held a business
meeting Tuesday evening at the
Community building. Four members received their pins at this

and Betty Anne Youtz.

are being made for delegates to attend the state- convention at Newark.
